The Welsh Association
for some reason our association is set on killing welsh banding!! the whole champion band of wales at 3 contests was the reason bands attended the contest! not for the £125 prize money and spending over £400 for conductors fees etc. I really am gutted that theydecided to appoint the champion band of wales as the winners of the area, thus killing off the 3 contests that they run, which may i add i used to enjoy playing in!!. Unless they bump up the prize money then the likes of BTM, Tredegar and even Cory may start showing up again!! it was the fact that they did not even tell the bands about swapping the champion band of wales title over to the area, what a way to treat your bands!!! :cry: hence now there is no insentive to turn up tp the contests which is a great shame. I hope something is sorted out soon for the sake of welsh banding as a whole, maybe some young blood is needed??
